Membrane stripping/sweeping.

I was a tight 2 cm's today, and the Doctor stripped my membranes. I'm supposedly 40w 2days along. Anyone have this happen, and how soon did you experience labor.. if at all? How many cm's dilated were you?

Doc did a sweep for me at 39 weeks. Two days later I had my baby. They say if it works its within about 48 hours. I had no idea I would still lose my plug, I thought that was what the sweep was supposed to do. I lost my plug and within a couple hours labor started and 6 hours after feeling the first contractions my baby was born. It doesn't work for everyone but it did for me.
